WikiPub: WikiLeaks on your eBook reader

I read.  I read a lot.  I do not necessarily read as fast as the folks that can power through a book in a weekend, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of it nonetheless.  Part of this reading occurs during my daily commute. Recently, I managed to grab a copy of the WikiLeaks [...]

Migrating from Kindle to iPad: An Illustrated DRM Primer

Now that we have Twitter and Facebook and whatnot, those thoughts get scattered throughout the internets.  In an effort to graft [...]

Why I probably won’t be getting a Kindle 2

What I have seen of the Kindle 2′s design makes it an enviable device to gadget-lover-Brian.  While the first Kindle looked like it was made by Tandy, this updated one looks like it came straight out of Cupertino.  It almost looks like an oversized iPod Touch, seamlessly melded with a keyboard, and large enough to [...]
